Notes for this episode:

\\n

Actually #3 should\'ve been matched up against #10, and #4 against #9. My bad. 

\\n

The "title track" to the album Horses was actually part of a larger overall song called "Land" (Part I: "Horses" / Part II: "Land of a Thousand Dances" / Part III: "La Mer(de)"). 

\\n

Lucinda Williams\' poet father was named Miller Williams. 

\\n

Michael Bloomfield (not Bloomfeld) played on the first Janis solo album. Not sure how or why I pronounced his name so incorrectly as I am a big fan.  

\\n

James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon from The Pretenders died due to drugs, I should\'ve mentioned. 

\\n

Big Brother\'s guitarist was Sam Andrew (no "s" at the end).
